Re: NATIVE AIX RUMORED FOR ISERIES LPAR

["Jerome Draper" <jdraper@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is it with the iSeries that attracts users?  Is it the box or is it the
OS?  I always thought it was the rich set of tools in the OS and, number
one, the relational database.  If you move to AIX then aren't you moving to
more of a piecemeal system?   Would this actually be better than the
integrated OS on the iSeries?
